Mrs. Rosie Pearl Boyd, the daughter of the late Ed Lee Jackson and Mary Jane Truitt was born June 23, 1918 in Troup County, GA. On March 23, 2016, God in his infinite wisdom opened heaven’s gate at West Georgia Hospice and called his faithful servant to be with him.

At an early age, “Pearl”, as she was known by many, accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior and united with the New Harmony C.M.E. Church, where she served faithfully as a member of the choir and on the missionary board.

Mrs. Boyd received her education in the Troup County Public School System.

On August 14, 1940, Pearl was joined in Holy Matrimony to Frank C. Boyd, who preceded her in death. Into this union four children were born. Early in life, Pearl worked domestic jobs. In later years she became employed with West Point Pepperell (Lanett Mill), where she retired with many years of service.

She enjoyed cooking and helping those that were in need. Her favorite bible scripture was Psalms 23 and her favorite song was “This Little Light of Mine.”

She was preceded in death by a son, four sisters, and three brothers.

She leaves to cherish her loving memories: her children, Juanita (Walter) Barton, Hampton, VA; Carolyn (Johnny) Robertson, Miami FL; Linda Palmer (Robert Bonner), West Point, GA; two sisters-in- law, Grace O.
